Fields not showing on publish/edit page

Question

I have a site we are setting up on EE 2.72, and without realizing there was a known issue it i started using the Field Editor add-on to add fields. It was throwing some errors here and there but seemed to save things ok.

The issue I'm having is that now I'm getting some fields that just won't show on the publish page layout. I the edit layout sidebar they show as empty squares. When you click on the squares it switches to the eyeball but doesn't actually show in the layout.

I tried removing the field and adding it without field editor, removing field editor, and even going into the database exp_layout_publish table and removing the field layout json completely but no luck?

Any ideas?

Sounds like you need to reset the Publish Layout. Select the member groups for which the layout should be reset and click the "Reset Layout" button. Then refresh the browser window. You'll then need to rebuild your Publish Layout.
